To all whom it may concern: 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 13 a section on Be it known that I, JOHNSON MILLS, asubline D D, Fig. 12, of still another form of ject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing fastening.

Fig. 12 is a front View, and Fig. 13 a section, on line D D of a like form of boss, but split through one side, and which may be secured to the collard by means of the bolts a, (1 ,60 and M, the bolts a and a passing through slotted holes in the base Z of the boss Z. The flange with the boss Z attached is placed on the beam in the position required, when said boss is tightened on the beam by a bolt or bolts, as m, which causes the split portion Z to close and the boss to tighten on and clip the beam. \Vhen the beam-flange is required to be readjusted or to be removed, the nuts on the bolts (0 and ct and m are slackened, When the boss with flange may be easily removed.

It is obvious that other forms of metallic bosses may be employed for attaching the hereinbefore-described stamped metal flanges to the Wood or the metal center Without departing from my invention; but

Vhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A flange or end for a warpers or a Weavers beam, composed of a plate of flat metal and a plate of corrugated metal placed one against the other and in intimate contact, and

united by overbending their peripheries, and supplied with a collar by means of Which the said flange or end maybe secured to the beam, substantially as shown and described.

2. A flan ge or end for a Warpers or weavers beam constructed of two plates of metal, the outer plate being plain and the inner plate being corrugated, and the two plates being united by overbendin g their peripheries, and provided with means whereby the said flange or end may be rigidly connected to the beam, substantially as described.

3. In a warpers beam or Weavers beam or like structures, a metallic flange or end con structed from two stam ped steel or iron plates, one of said plates being plain and the other corrugated, and the two connected together by the central portion of said plates being pressed out to form a boss or flange, both the inner and outer edges of said plates being rolled over so that the edges of the plain plate shall clip over the edges of the corrugated plate, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 13th day of December, A.D.1S95.
